autumn ends-
already the Buddha
fills Kyōto's sky
行秋やすでに御釈迦は京の空
-Kobayashi Issa (小林一茶), 1810.
Trans. David Lanoue.

This rather odd haiku alludes to Seiryō-ji's (清涼寺) famed state of Buddha returning to Arashiyama after a tour of Edo in 1810.

Seiryō-ji's image of the Buddha is a national treasure.

Windows and polished tables offer the perfect framing devices for the seasonal colours.
The fresh greens of early summer and the deep reds of late autumn are particularly stunning.
